Praise for the HTC RE Camera continues with the device receiving a design award at the 35th International Design Excellence ceremony. The Industrial Designers Society of America selected the RE Camera as an award winner among a field of over 1,700 entries. HTC’s little camera was likely selected because of its simple, compact design that is rather unique. The RE Camera looks like a colorful periscope.
Claude Zellweger, Vice Preside of Design at HTC, explained the RE Camera’s design:
“We approached the design aesthetic with a view to deliver something which was stunning, simple and effective to use. Our solution was a unique cylindrical design which fits comfortably in your hand and instantly activates on pick up, allowing you to point and shoot moments with ease.”
The RE Camera will now be part of a permanent collect of products stored at the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan.
